How To Run A Mod On Your SWAT 4 Server

SWAT 4 mods such as SWAT: Elite Force come as a folder that sits next to the game's Content folder. Here's how to run one on your SWAT 4 server.

Uploading The Mod

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Upload the mod's folder, for example SEF, to the root of your server, next to Content. It must have a System folder inside it.
  4. 4
    Start your server.

Turning The Mod On

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, edit Mod Folder and enter the name of the mod's folder, for example SEF.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

The server runs the mod on SWAT 4 or The Stetchkov Syndicate, whichever the mod is made for. Players need the same mod and version to join. To play without the mod again, clear Mod Folder and click Save & Restart.

Note

Many mods have their own server settings. Edit them in the SwatGUIState.ini file in the mod's System folder. The server's Settings still set the name, password, players, game type and maps.
